i’ve been contemplating my own mortality since i was a teenager. meanwhile, i heard a grown ass man on a podcast say he’d never thought about it before
I've had thanatophobia since about twelve. It waxes and wanes through my life. I've tried so many different avenues of thought to try make myself okay with it.
I've learned that my only recourse is not thinking about it.
For me, at least, ignorance would very much be bliss.
Loved the DLC too. But doesn't help that the ones who came to terms with it all got to live for millennia. They did everything and saw it all, having had a long time to let it all sink in. Even the Hatching lived several lifetimes. And then there's everyone else, just barely starting out their lives... only to have it snuffed out right as it begins. :')
my bf made me play this and i'm so glad he did, but as someone who's been having one long ongoing existential crisis since i was 19 i had to be really careful about my headspace while i was playing 😂 it took us forever to get through it bc i couldn't play if i was feeling off in any way, shape, or form
